Research starts with the model.

Search the repository, work in the spreadsheet, and carry each decision into the next research cycle.

The model stays central. The work compounds around it.

Each cycle leaves the next one with better context, clearer evidence, and a faster start.

Spreadsheet

Work in the spreadsheet.

Keep the familiar grid and formulas. IRIS keeps the assumptions, outputs, evidence, and changes around them.

The spreadsheet stays familiar. The context stays with it.
